Fructose Free Chickpea Flour Crepes with Herbs & Olive Oil
These savory crepes are thin, golden, and fragrant with rosemary and garlic — the kind of simple, satisfying dish that feels far more impressive than the effort involved. Chickpea flour forms the entire base of the batter, making it naturally free from wheat and the fructans that can sneak into so many pantry staples. The batter comes together with just a whisk and a rest, and that 30-minute hydration step is what gives each crepe its tender, cohesive texture rather than a crumbly mess. Extra virgin olive oil does double duty here — stirred into the batter for richness and used to coat the pan between rounds for those beautifully golden edges. Garlic and fresh rosemary bring real depth without relying on any sauces, seasonings, or condiments that might hide problematic ingredients. Finished with flaky salt and torn flat-leaf parsley, they're bright and herby straight off the skillet. Serve them as a light meal, a savory snack, or a versatile base for whatever low-fructose toppings you have on hand.

4 servings
For the batter
- 1 cup chickpea flour (besan)
- 1 ¼ cups water, room temperature
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
For serving
- flaky sea salt, for finishing (optional)
- fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly torn (optional)
Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, fine sea salt, ground turmeric, and black pepper. Pour in the water gradually while whisking continuously until the batter is completely smooth with no lumps — it should be thin and pourable, closer to heavy cream than pancake batter. Whisk in 2 tbsp of the olive oil, the minced garlic, and the chopped rosemary.

Cover the bowl and let the batter rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. This allows the chickpea flour to fully hydrate, which produces a more cohesive, tender crepe.
